Because those character strings are reserved names going back to DOS days. You'll get the same result if you try to give a file one of those names.
Did you never come across that email stating that not even Bill Gates or MS knows why you can't use those names?

Technically speaking, the Peoples Temple guys drank Flavor Aid, not Kool-Aid, but let's not split hairs here.

Take a lesson from parakeets. If you're ever feeling lonely, just eat in front of a mirror.

Re: jee's wise words for the day
Even more important than honesty is trust.
And if you trust someone, you allow them a private life… which means they have secrets.
Secrets are so important - even when we share a life with someone else. We are individuals and have a right to keep certain things to ourselves. How boring we would be if we were known completely.

Re: jee's wise words for the day
Inside every old man is a young man wondering what happened.
And in women too. I would really like to shoot the person that told us we had to grow up and mature.

Arguing with a woman is like braaing chicken. When you think you're done, give it another 20 minutes.

Re: jee's wise words for the day
Its complicated and as much as I would love to divulge what went down it is something that happened behind closed doors and we as a group decided to keep it behind closed doors.

Re: jee's wise words for the day
just a quick word of advise... when you decide on things like this that involves my mother it's best to let the daughter know that she isn't supposed to let the cat out of the bag, not that I have publically but no one told me to stay still... just a thought...Anakha56 wrote:Its complicated and as much as I would love to divulge what went down it is something that happened behind closed doors and we as a group decided to keep it behind closed doors.

Re: jee's wise words for the day
Why not? If you can almost buy it - it is imperative to test drive it. How will you know you really want it otherwise?
